Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced or shredded
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
1/4 cup finely diced celery
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. In a medium mixing bowl combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, and lemon juice. Stir until the dressing becomes smooth and creamy.
2. Add the diced or shredded chicken to the bowl and mix gently so the dressing coats the chicken evenly.
3. Stir in diced celery and red onion to add texture and flavor.
4. Add chopped parsley, dill, and chives. Mix gently until the herbs distribute evenly through the salad.
5. Season with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
6. Serve immediately or refrigerate for about 20 minutes so the flavors blend before serving.
Notes
Use freshly chopped herbs for the best flavor.
Cooked chicken breast works best for this recipe, but shredded chicken also works well.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Stir the salad before serving if it has been chilled.
